About this business
The Pit offers some of the best barbecue in Raleigh. Set in a restored early 20th Century meatpacking warehouse, the restaurant carries on the North Carolina barbecue tradition by serving full-hog, pit-cooked pork, and other barbecue essentials. But The Pit is more than a generic barbecue restaurant: it combines the generous portions of classic meat-loving joints with some surprises. The pork is free-range, and guests can enjoy barbecued tofu, wines, cocktails, and a comprehensive list of bourbons.

Best fried chicken ever 👍🏼 And the staff is so friendly.
The food was awesome!! The service was fast & they offer free valet! A total win!
It was one of our "sister lunches we enjoy weekly!" We vent, laugh, hug, cry and just enjoy ourselves�. We decided on "The Pit!" I've been there but my sister Amy Nisi Hicks hasn't. We had plenty and enjoyed the atmosphere, very comfortable & homely feeling, great restaurant. Wait staff was very accommodating with service and explaining the menu. #ThoroughlyPleased
Excellent. If u are in Raleigh most definitely have to come and eat some awesome food.
Had lunch there today, and the service and the food was delicious!
We back again for 3rd visit! Just awesome in every way! Got tee shirts and famous sauces for home cooking 1st two times and took home dinner for another night. All in all everything is just great! A must visit. Out for my DBay trip to see Charlotte Hornets and otw home to VA we always stop into the PIT! �
Business response:
Awesome. Thanks for being a great guest
Food was amazing!! The men got Big Boy Platters, best fried chicken, awesome soul rolls, deviled eggs, fried Mac-n-cheese, pulled pork, beef brisket, sweet iced tea is perfect and never empty. Oh, and desserts... OMG! Decadent chocolate cake, carrot cake, and banana pudding were tried by our crew with high fives all around. Our waiter, Chris; made this family outing a spectacular experience. He was phenomenal! Mom-in-law's special birthday! Will definitely return and tell all our friends. Thank you!
Service was good. BBQ chicken was very good. Hush puppies were awesome. Mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. They mixed a good drink. Only complaint is that they had on some weird 80's music that didn't seem to jive with the atmosphere but I refuse to remove any stars for that. Check this place out!
Excellent BBQ! It was so tender, juicy and flavorful. Very family friendly. Superb service.
